Higher. Faster. Farther.

Now off-road fun has no limits anymore! The E-Sledge+ ES's four-link chassis with enduro-like travel, its extra-wide plus-tires and the powerful but compact Steps E8000 motor from Shimano deliver trusted MTB performance even on the harshest trails. 100 % control and precision are assured by disc brakes and electronic Di2 shifting both brought to you by the House of Shimano. It never was as hard to get back on a muscle-powered bike.

Boost-Standard Fork

What is right for the rear wheel is even more important at the front wheel - because steering precision matters. This is why STEVENS uses suspension forks and hubs with extra wide axle spacing for all its 29er fullies, the Whaka+ ES and the trail rocket Sonora SL. These 110mm of axle spacing are called "Boost" or "Plus" and stand for lots of added lateral stiffness plus space for extra wide studded tires.

Rearshock Development

Diffferent purposes in different terrain require different ride properties. This is why every fully rear triangle receives a specific setup from STEVENS' engineers to meet the respective bike's requirement for optimum performance. Firm for minimum power loss in the marathon with lots of comfort for long distance riding with a linear characteristic curve and mind-soothing reserves for hard hits.

Hydroforming

Using water or oil pressure aluminium tubes are transformed from their original round shape into their ideal shape determined by STEVENS engineers to perfectly withstand any load without any weight penalty. This means better steering precision on the trail and higher longevity.

Tapered Steerer / Tapered Headtube

Fork shaft (or steerer tube) and head tube are tapered, meaning their diameter increases from top to bottom resulting in a conical shape. The diameter needs to be bigger at the bottom since this is where higher stress is applied - especially when the bike has a higher total weight due to luggage or an e-drive and battery. Also tapered steerers feature a smoother force transfer (like forces caused by hard braking) to the downtube than forks with a continuous 1 1/8" diameter.

Triple Butted, Double Butted

Meaning a frame tube has three or two different wall thicknesses along its length. Triple butted (TB) is the usual technology with STEVENS high-quality frames. Tubes with different wall thicknesses are optimally adjusted to certain ways of manufacturing or to withstand specific loads. Where the highest loads occur or where tubes are welded, walls are the thickest. Butted tubes allow frame weight to be lower by several hundred grams.

Smooth Welded

Additional step in welding. The first, rippled weld, typical for aluminium, is covered with a second smoother weld. This not only improves looks but also lowers the risk of notches in this spot, which makes the frames more durable.

Versatile cable routing

We keep the cable routing on our bikes as versatile as possible so you can ride your bike like you want to. There are wide and therefore easy to reach cable ports in the frame to insert either one or two cables or none at all - there are cover plugs for any of these configurations. This is also very convenient for retrofitting a dropper post.

Ein beeindruckend dynamisches Bike

01/2016

Conclusion: The Shimano 8000's dynamic is simply impressive. The agile chassis was very much to our liking when climbing as well as going downhill and is among the top contenders in the all-mountain segment.

E-enduro and E-all mountain bikes

Instructions on intended use

The permissible overall weight (pedelec incl. luggage and rider) should not exceed 140 kg (308.6 lbs). Under certain circumstances the permissible maximum weight can be further limited by the component manufacturers’ recommendations for use.

For full suspension STEVENS E-mountain bikes and carbon bikes trailers are not permitted.

STEVENS E-enduro and E-all mountain bikes are designed for off-road use (Alpcross etc.). STEVENS bikes of this category can be used on surfaces permitted for bikes of the categories 1, 3, 4 and 5. Furthermore, STEVENS bikes of this category are suitable for very rough and partly blocked terrain with steeper slopes and higher speeds as a result thereof. Regular jumps by experienced riders are no problem for these STEVENS bikes. The regular and durable use of these STEVENS bikes in bike parks must however be excluded by STEVENS. In addition, these STEVENS bikes are not suitable for tricks, stair riding etc. as well as training and competitive use in the categories freeride, dirt, downhill.

Due to their design and fittings, STEVENS E-mountain bikes of the category 6 E are not always suitable for being used on public roads. If you want to use them on public roads, these bikes must be fitted with the prescribed equipment. Observe the traffic rules when riding on public roads. For more information read chapter “Legal Requirements for Riding on Public Roads” in your comprehensive STEVENS user manual on the enclosed CD-ROM.

Danger:

Due to the higher stresses, these STEVENS bikes of category 6 E should be checked for possible damage after every ride. Two inspections per year at least carried out by your STEVENS dealer are obligatory.
